The Tour de France is a tour de force when it comes to navigating winding back roads, coastal clifftops, iconic cols and showcases what Europe has to offer- it’s no wonder cycling tours in Europe are soaring in popularity.

Top 5 Destinations for Cycling Tours in Europe

Italy

Saddle up for an Italian adventure where every pedal stroke blends culture, carbs, and countryside charm. Wind your way through wetlands dotted with flamingos in Sardinia, spin past fairytale trulli houses on our Cycling Puglia to Matera tour, or chase cannoli and coastal views on Cycling in Sicily. From Renaissance cities to the pastel-colored towns of the Amalfi Coast, every ride is a story – and a feast. Explore the full collection of Italy cycling tours. Just don’t forget, gelato stops are practically mandatory.

Portugal

Pedal your way through Portugal’s soul on our Portugal cycling tours—where sleepy fishing villages, castle-topped hills, and custard tarts await. Follow the Atlantic coast on our Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride, or tick off scallop shells and seaside charm on the Coastal Portuguese Camino. Whether you’re riding past towering dunes and pine forests or café-hopping in Lisbon, the scenery is as satisfying as the seafood. Expect quiet country roads, sweeping ocean views, and the satisfying hum of tires on the pavement.

The Baltics

Three countries. Countless castles. One unforgettable ride. On our Cycle the Baltics tour, you’ll bike mostly quiet backroads from Estonia to Lithuania, gliding past forests, sandy coastlines, and fairy-tale spires. Along the way, you’ll explore medieval old towns, wind through stunning national parks, including Lahemaa and Curonian Spit, and swap handlebars for history in Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. A visit to the iconic floating Trakai Castle rounds off this incredible multi-country tour. It’s smooth riding, ever-changing scenery, and just enough cobblestones to keep you on your toes.

Spain

From pine-fringed coves to Roman ruins, our Spain cycling tours reveal the country’s most scenic routes. Follow coastal trails and wetland paths on the Cycling the Mediterranean Coast trip, or bike past rugged cliffsides and surreal seascapes that once inspired Dalí on our Cycling in Girona and the Catalan Coast. Prefer pilgrims to painters? Our Cycling the Camino de Santiago leads you deep into Galicia’s sacred heart, past Baroque churches and lush countryside. Spain, seen from the saddle with our expert local guides, is anything but ordinary.

Europe Cycling FAQs

There are almost no words to describe how fulfilling this Kerala trip was. I have taken a lot of interesting trips in my time, including northern India, but this really touched my soul like nowhere else and I cannot explain why. There wasn’t anything that I didn’t love about the trip. The food was great, the people were so, so friendly, the group was fantastic, the countryside so pretty, hotels were comfortable and the cycling was something I have never done before but really enjoyed. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I’ve just returned from this tour and can honestly say it exceeded all expectations.

From start to finish, the trip was exceptionally well organised, with every detail thoughtfully planned.

The cycling routes offered a perfect way to take in Kerala’s beautiful coastline and local culture. Each day brought something new and memorable, with a fantastic range of activities and experiences that really made the trip special – with lots of surprise cultural experiences that we did not expect.

The food was excellent throughout, fresh, varied, and full of flavour and the hotels were of a great standard. Having access to swimming pools at many of the accommodations was a real bonus and a great way to relax after a day’s cycling.

Overall, this was a truly fantastic holiday. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-organised, active trip with great food, comfortable accommodation, and unforgettable experiences.
